I have
never understood the importance of having children memorize
battle dates. It seems like such a waste of mental energy.
Instead, we could teach them important subjects such as How
the Mind Works, How to Handle Finances, How to Invest Money
for Financial Security, How to be a Parent, How to Create
Good Relationships, and How to Create and Maintain Self-Esteem
and Self-Worth. Can you imagine what a whole generation of
adults would be like if they had been taught these subjects
in school along with their regular curriculum?Louise

Quotes

The very
purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticize
others. Rather, we must criticize ourselves. How much am I
doing about my anger? About my attachment, about my hatred,
about my pride, my jealousy? These are the things which we
must check in daily life.Dalai

When
we talk about values, I think of rationality in solving problems.
That's something I value. Fairness, kindness, generosity,
tolerance. When they talk about values, they're talking about
things like going to church, voting for Bush, being loyal
to Jesus, praying. These are not values.Bill
